i actually hadnt planned on drawing him in this style for this piece...

i also planned to draw all 5 main characters but go seriously stuck trying to draw azure's face :( so i cut my losses and just painted scarlet blaze alone cos i'm used to drawing his face and hair the most.

i did it!! speedpaint video: https://youtu.be/llsXtfccMs8

i've also decided to start a new thread for main character references. i'll be posting that in a week or two
